15.1.3 Informed Consent
As with any surgical procedure, informed consent is nec­essary to ensure that the patient has a suitable under­standing and expectation of the outcomes and risks of surgery. The potential consequences or complications that need to be discussed vary according to the procedure planned:
• Sialendoscopy: – The benets of the minimally invasive nature of the
procedure, weighed against the limitations of the pro­cedure to remove larger or unsuitably located calculi
– The possibility that a repeat procedure will be
necessary
– Infection, inammation, and oedema
Fig. 15.3 US Image of Wharton’s duct dilatation (asterisk) from a dis- tal duct calculus
– Perforation of the duct, which may require stenting or
a further open procedure – Delayed stenosis of the duct – Instrumentation failure or entrapment within the ductal
system, which may necessitate open surgical removal
• Transoral sialolithotomy: – Bleeding, infection, inammation, and oedema – Injury to the lingual nerve, in the case of the subman-
dibular duct
– Delayed stenosis of the duct, especially relevant with
the parotid duct
• Transcutaneous, transfacial approach to a parotid stone: – Surgical scarring – Bleeding, infection, inammation, and oedema – Injury to branches of the facial nerve – Paraesthesia in the greater auricular nerve distribution – Sialocoele or salivary stula

ric or adolescent patient) to tolerate a procedure performed under local anaesthesia.
With sialendoscopy, general anaesthesia is preferred for calculi that may require prolonged surgical time or signi­cant instrumentation to remove a calculus. Transoral open sialolithotomy for Wharton’s duct calculi may readily be performed with local anaesthesia, but a stone located poste­riorly may require general anaesthesia for successful removal.
Nasotracheal intubation is preferred notto impede access, especially when working on Wharton’s duct and the oor of the mouth. This is also true for Stensen’s duct, although an orotracheal tube placed to the contralateral side may sufce.
15.1.5 Equipment
Availability of appropriate equipment is an important con­sideration when planning removal of calculi by means of sialendoscopy. Access to appropriate-size sialendoscopes, dilators, stone extractors and graspers, and stone fragmenta­tion equipment is essential.

The choice of anaesthesia depends on the surgical approach, the expertise of the surgeon, comorbidities affectinggeneral anaesthesia, and the ability of a patient (especially a paediat-
15.2 Indications
Surgical removal of salivary stones has two indications:
• Recurrent obstruction and swelling of the gland with
meals that does not respond to conservative measures
• Obstructive sialadenitis
Currently, the choice of surgical approach is gland-sparing surgery, where the surgery includes diagnostic and interven­tional sialendoscopy, open transoral sialolithotomy, or a combination of the two; sialadenectomy is reserved for a sig­nicantly smaller portion of cases than was previously indi­cated [2].
Surgery is best performed once acute infection has settled with appropriate medical therapy. This is especially true with sialendoscopy, as the presence of acute infection signi­cantly raises the risk of duct perforation and the spread of infection into the surrounding soft tissues.
Figure 15.6 outlines a stepwise approach to the removal of intra-canalicular stones. Somelarger stones may be ame­nable to fragmentation by extracorporeal shockwave litho­tripsy (ESWL) or intracorporeal lithotripsy (using laser or stone-fragmentation devices), thus rendering them remov­able by sialendoscopy. Staging of the procedures may be required to achieve successful removal of all fragments of the calculus.

15.3 Surgical Technique withTips
15.3.1 Sialendoscopy
• Equipment and theatre setup: – Care should be taken when handling the delicate
sialendoscopes. (Adequate training should be provided to all staff.)
– The surgeon is generally situated on the right-hand
side of the patient, with the assistant or nurse on the opposite side.
– A mobile cart with operating light source, video cam-
era, and monitor is placed at the head of the patient, in full view of the surgeon.
– The sialendoscope (Fig.15.7) is connected to the video
camera, taking care that the image is correctly oriented to ensure that each direction of movement of the scope matches that of the image generated on the monitor. This will avoid disorientation during the procedure.
• Dilation and access to the submandibular duct: – Surgical loupe magnication is very helpful. – Expose the oral cavity with an appropriate-sized bite
block for an unobstructed view of the oor of the mouth.
– Stabilise the mucosa with a ne-toothed forceps placed
posteriorly and superiorly relative to the papilla.
– Alternatively, retract the tongue posteriorly towards
the contralateral side with the index nger, straighten­ing out the papilla, the duct, and angle of approach.

– Use conical dilators and probes (Fig.15.8) of increas-
ing diameters to cannulate and dilate the duct (Fig.15.9) prior to introducing the scope. Alternating the conical dilator in between two serial sizes of probes may facilitate access.
– A very narrow papilla may require insertion of a guide-
wire and the Seldinger technique and dilators to dilate it.
– Failure to cannulate the duct is not an infrequent expe-
rience, especially when the surgeon is learning the pro­cedure. Surgical exploration of the oor of the mouth to identify the anterior duct may be necessary. A small longitudinal incision, just large enough for the sialen­doscope to be passed, can be made into the duct to facilitate the rest of the procedure.
– Following dilation of the duct, the tip of the scope is
passed into the duct.
Fig. 15.7 Sialendoscope (1.3-mm Marchal Scope, Karl Storz Endoscopy)
• Dilation and access to the parotid duct: – Surgical loupe magnication is very helpful. – Expose the oral cavity with an appropriate-sized bite
block for an unobstructed view of the buccal mucosa.
– Stabilise the buccal mucosa by gently retracting the
cheek anterolaterally at the corner of the mouth. (Negotiating the sialendoscope past the natural bend in the duct around the masseter muscle is also facilitated by this maneuver.)
– Use conical dilators and probes (see Fig. 15.8) of
increasing diameters to cannulate and dilate the duct prior to introducing the scope. Alternating the conical dilator in between two serial sizes of probes may facil­itate access.
– A narrow papilla may require insertion of a guide-wire
to determine the presence of stenosis prior to dilation.
– Following dilation of the duct, the tip of the scope is
passed into the duct.
• Endoscopic assessment of the ductal system: – A suitably sized sialendoscope is used for adult or pae-
diatric patients, as well as for the anticipated instru­mentation required during the procedure.
– Continuous irrigation is essential, generally with nor-
mal saline. A diluted corticosteroid solution may be used in cases of chronic sialadenitis. The total volume of irrigation should be kept to less than 20 mL, but more may be needed for exceptionally long and chal­lenging cases.
– Lidocaine 1% may be added to the solution, especially
when surgery isperformed under local anaesthesia.
– The sialendoscope is advanced slowly, maintaining
and following the lumen of the duct in the middle of the view.
– An obstructed view may result from a stricture or the
tip of the scope being placed up against the wall of the

Fig. 15.10 Endoscopic view of proximal Wharton’s duct calculus at sialendoscopy. Although the initial appearance is of an impacted stone, this may be found to be oating and mobile when the scope is passed nearer to the stone
duct. When this occurs, the scope is slowlywithdrawn to bring the lumen into view again.
– Endoscopic assessment of the obstructing calculus is
then possible, noting its position, its size compared to the duct, and whether it is oating or impacted (Fig.15.10).
• Endoscopic removal of the calculus: – Removing the calculus is best achieved with a basket
(Fig. 15.11), which is passed through the working channel of the sialendoscope.
– The closed basket is advanced past the calculus and
opened proximal to the calculus by the assistant.
– The surgeon then withdraws the basket while maneu-
vering the wires around the calculus.
– The basket is closed to ensnare the calculus, and
withdrawn.
– Certain types of baskets are opened in front of the cal-
culusto encircle the calculus from anteriorly.
– Calculi that are large and/or impacted require frag-
mentation by means of laser or ESWL prior to removal witha basket or with grasping forceps.
– Calculi that are inadvertently impacted within the duct
after engagement of the basket may require conversion to open surgical removal. This possibility should always be discussed preoperatively when obtaining consent for the procedure. Should the situation arise in which the basket cannot be released or disengaged from an impacted calculus, one should not forcibly withdraw the basket, as doing so may avulse the duct.
Fig. 15.11 Endoscopic view of retrieval of calculus with a basket
– A small papillotomy may be required to deliver the
calculus at the orifice of the submandibular duct without much consequence (Fig. 15.12). This should generally be avoided with the parotid duct, but if unavoidable, the duct should be stented thereafter.

15.3.2 Transoral Removal ofaSubmandibular
Duct Stone
• Transoral removal can be performed under local or gen-
eral anaesthesia.
• Administer local anaesthesia, with a vasoconstrictor, in
the mucosa of the oor of the mouth at the site of the planned surgical incision, generally directly over the pal­pable calculus.
• Placement of a suture around the duct, posterior to the
stone, prevents posterior displacement of the calculus.
• Incise through the mucosa directly onto the stone with a
blade or electrocautery.
• The calculus can be removed under direct vision
(Fig.15.13).
• Marsupialisation of the opening in the duct may be con-
sidered, suturing the cut edges of the duct to the oral mucosa with absorbable interrupted sutures, such as 4/0 vicryl.
• Irrigation of the ductal system with normal saline facili-
tates evacuation of purulent saliva retained behind the obstruction.
• Calculi located more posteriorly within the proximal duct
may also be removed through a sialolithotomy procedure. This carries an increased risk of injury to the lingual nerve, especially in the posterior third of the duct, as well as the possibility of bleeding from the ranine veins or more severe bleeding from the lingual vessels [1].
Fig. 15.13 Transoral removal of submandibular duct calculus
• Access and success may be improved by using a longer incision starting more anteriorly, so as to identify the rel­evant structures within the oor of the mouth.
• Opening the duct more anteriorly to the calculus and per­forming a duct-slitting procedure, remaining within the lumen of the duct whilst dissecting posteriorly to locate the calculus, is useful in these cases [2]. Care should be taken to identify the location of, and preserve, the lingual nerve.
15.3.3 Transoral Removal ofanAnterior Third
Parotid Duct Stone
• Transoral removal can be performed under local or gen­eral anaesthesia.
• Administer local anaesthesia, with a vasoconstrictor, in the mucosa surrounding the papilla of Stensen’s duct.
• Cannulate the duct with a dilator and probe, advancing the probe along the duct until the stone is felt.
• Secure the papilla and probe with forceps or a haemostat.
• A circumferential elliptical incision is made around the papilla.
• Dissection around and along the duct is performed to the point of the calculus.
• An incision is made in the duct wall over the calculus (Fig.15.14).
• The stone is then delivered through the sialolithotomy incision.
156

Fig. 15.14 Transoral removal of anterior-third parotid duct calculus
• Following removal, massaging the gland will facilitate clearanceof any purulent saliva.
• The duct wall may then either be sutured with 6/0 prolene over a stent, suturing the mucosa around the papilla into place with 4/0 vicryl, or the sialolithotomy may be sutured to the buccal mucosa with interrupted 4/0 vicryl to main­tain patency of the duct.
• Insertion of a stent is often required to prevent stenosis of the neosteum of the duct, which is more commonly encountered with Stensen’s duct than with Wharton’s duct. A wide variety of stents may be used, from commer­cially available stents to 5F paediatric feeding tubes, umbilical catheters, Silastic tubes, or polyethylene intra­venous catheters. The appropriate diameter for the duct should be selected.
15.3.4 Transcutaneous Removal ofaMiddle
andPosterior Third Parotid Duct Stone
• This procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.
• Care should be taken when considering this approach for a posterior-third calculus, which may be deeper within the gland where the duct wall is thinner and less amenable to adequate repair after removal of the calculus [4].
• The procedure is commenced with sialendoscopy and location of the calculus. The sialendoscope may be left in situ during the transcutaneous surgical approach, with the light being a useful guide to the location of the calculus.
O. Edkins and J. J. Fagan
Fig. 15.15 Transcutaneous approach to a parotid duct calculus, visible within the duct
• Alternatively, the position of the calculus may be marked on the skin overlying the light of the endoscope prior to removal of the scope, with careful translation of this marking onto the supercial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer after elevating the skin ap.
• Facial nerve monitoring is recommended to avoid injury to the buccal branch, which courses along Stensen’s duct.
• Inltration with local anaesthesia and a vasoconstrictor is useful.
• The approach is via a standard parotidectomy or face-lift skin incision, with elevation of the skin ap anteriorly to beyond the location of the calculus.
• An anteriorly based U-shaped ap may be made in the SMAS layer and elevated over the location of the calcu­lus. Care should be taken to avoid injury to the buccal branch of the facial nerve [4, 5].
• Alternatively, if the calculus is palpable within the duct, dissection onto the calculus may be performed through the SMAS layer.
• The duct is identied and an incision made longitudinally over the calculus, which is then removed (Fig.15.15).
• The duct is sutured with 6/0 prolene after placement of a stent (Fig.15.16), which should extend from the operated region into the oral cavity and should be secured to the buccal mucosa near the papilla of the duct.
• The SMAS layer is then sutured with absorbable suture material, followed by closure of the skin incision.

15.4 Postoperative Care
Sialendoscopy and intraoral sialolithotomy may be per­formed as day-case surgery in suitable patients. If signicant
157
swelling occurs within the oor of the mouth or the cervical region, it is advisable for the patient to be monitored in hos­pital overnight, with special attention to airway observations. An initial follow-up should be undertaken at 10–14 days, with a further follow-up at about 2–3months. Sutures within the oral cavity may be removed at the rst postoperative visit. Any stent that has been placed may be removed after 2weeks. Attention should be given thereafter to any stenosis of the papilla of the ducts or of a neosteum that has been surgically created.

Partial Parotidectomy Including Deep

Lobe andDumb Bell Tumours

16.1 Introduction
The traditional procedures in the treatment of parotid gland tumours have been supercial and total parotidectomy. However, during the twentieth century, it became apparent that less parotid tissue could be resected reducing the high morbidity and complication rates associated with comprehen­sive surgery whilst maintaining similar outcomes in tumour control. Partial parotidectomy has now emerged as a standard of care in the treatment of parotid gland pathology. The de­nition of partial parotidectomy is not well established, but the basis is to remove less parotid tissue than in a comprehensive parotidectomy. In 2016, the European Salivary Gland Society proposed the term “partial parotidectomy” as the procedure based on the dissection of the facial trunk and the removal of, at least, one of the parotid levels according to the ESGS pro­posal (Fig.16.1) [2]. This denition is a little cumbersome as it excludes one of the other partial parotid resection tech­niques that has emerged in extracapsular dissection. The main differences with extracapsular dissection are that this method does neither include the intentional dissection of the facial nerve nor a cuff of normal parotid tissue.
Partial parotidectomy can be performed either be super­cial or deep to the facial nerve. Some tumours affecting deep levels extend into the parapharyngeal space, so-called Dumb Bell Tumours. Therefore, deep lobe partial parotidectomy can encompass the dissection of this parapharyngeal area.

Partial parotidectomy is indicated for excision of benign tumours, but other indications include excision of low-grade malignant tumours and inammatory disease.

nerve paralysis are all suggestive of malignancy. Tumours low in the tail of the parotid gland can easily be confused with an upper cervical lymph node. Bilateral parotid tumours are most common in Warthin’s tumours and HIV related lymphoepithelial cysts.
All patients with a mass in a salivary gland should have an inspection and palpation of the mass itself. Oral examination should be with inspection of the relevant salivary gland duct. The parotid (Stenson’s) duct is situated opposite to the upper second molar. Inspection of the oropharynx for parapharyn­geal extension should be performed, which will usually man­ifest as medialization of the tonsil. Facial nerve assessment is mandatory, as is neck node palpation. The head and neck skin should be checked for cancers.
16.2.2 Investigations
Ultrasound scan (USS) provides invaluable information about the site, size, and nature of salivary gland tumours and the presence of cervical lymphadenopathy. The position of a tumour in the supercial or deep aspect of the parotid gland is established by identication of its relation to the retroman­dibular vein. It is usually combined with ne-needle aspira­tion biopsy (FNA) (USSgFNAB) which improves the adequacy rate. In experienced hands, this can distinguish malignant from benign disease in 80–90% of cases.
FNA is established as the primary diagnostic tool for sali­vary gland lesions. It is a relatively painless procedure, has few complications (seeding of the tumour does not appear to occur), and may prevent an ill-advised and often ill-fated incisional or excisional biopsy of a parotid mass. There are sometimes issues regarding aspiration technique, adequacy of specimen, cytological expertise, and limitations of the interpretation. If the result of FNA is at variance with other ndings, then clinical judgement should prevail.
Cross-sectional imaging is not essential in straightfor­ward benign tumours, but MRI scanning of a parotid tumour is useful in the assessment and delineation of anatomical structures, in particular, to verify extension to the deep lobe and relationship to the facial nerve [3].
16.2.3 Consent
Prior to supercial or total conservative parotidectomy, the patient should be warned about the following serious or fre­quent complications.
1. Facial weakness: The risk of temporary or permanent facial
weakness must be carefully explained as it has a signicant impact on quality of life. The risk of facial nerve damage is related to the type and extent of the disease, the type of
resection, and the experience of the surgeon. The risk of permanent facial palsy is in the region of 1–2%.
2. Haematoma.
3. Salivary stula or collection (sialocoele).
4. Sensory Loss: Some loss in the distribution of the greater auricular nerve, over the angle of the mandible and infe­rior two- thirds of the pinna, is unavoidable. All attempts to preserve the posterior branch of the greater auricular nerve should be made as this will reduce the initial loss of sensation. In any case, the area of sensory loss generally decreases in the rst 12months post-operatively.
5. Cosmetic defects: The skin incision rarely causes huge concern, because the most visible components are in skin crease lines or a face lift incision can be used. With larger tumours, loss of bulk behind the ramus of the mandible may be visible. This can be moderated with fat transfer.
6. Frey’s syndrome: Gustatory sweating or ushing (Frey’s syndrome).
7. Neuroma of the greater auricular nerve.
8. Recurrent tumour. The risk of recurrent tumour is increased if there has been spillage of the tumour or incomplete excision.
9. Further treatment: Patients should be warned that they may require radiotherapy, both in event of their being a complication or in the scenario that an unexpected malig­nant histological result is obtained.
General anaesthesia is required to perform partial paroti­dectomy. The anaesthetist must avoid paralytic agents so that the facial nerve can be monitored. No prophylactic antibiot­ics are required before the surgery.
16.3 Indications
1. Benign tumours of the parotid gland. The most frequent
indication is limited tumours of the supercial lobe, espe­cially of the tail. These tumours can be approached by exposing the nerve trunk and mobilising the inferior aspect of the gland containing the tumour by a so-called hemi-supercial parotidectomy. An alternative is to excise the tumour by extracapsular dissection.
2. When the tumour is in the deep lobe or is a Dumb Bell
tumour, a deep partial parotidectomy can be done pre­serving the supercial lobe. The main advantage of this technique is to preserve more parotid tissue and expose less the facial nerve, so as to reduce complications and sequelae. Its main indication is benign limited size tumours located at one of the borders of the gland, which allows a resection very similar to that we would obtain with a more conventional surgery but preserving tissue sufciently distant from the tumour.
